JPS5843332A - Rear surface adjusting device for air conditioner - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the gap between the air conditioner and the back wall of the room to be adjusted by a single operation to thereby faciliate the installation of the air conditioner against the wall by a method wherein a plurality of inclined grooved sections are formed on the rear surface of the base plate of the air conditioner and slidable adjust members are arranged in the grooves of the inclined sections. CONSTITUTION:The titled device is provided with rear surface adjust member 11 at positions below a couple of hooking sections 4 which are fixed to the upper part of the base plate 2 of the air conditioner 1. Each of the rear surface adjust members 11 is slidably fitted into the adjust groove 12 having an inclined surface projecting gradually from the rear surface of the base plate 2. Further, the rear surface adjust member 11 comprises an operating knob 11a, a trunk section 11b of a narrow width and a stop or a pullout preventive section 11c formed on the top of the trunk section 11 so as to spread outwardly and the trunk section 11b of the member 11 is slidably fitted into the adjust groove 12. Consequently, the installation of the air conditioner 1 is adjusted easily by merely sliding the adjust members 11.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a back adjustment device for adjusting the distance between the back of the main body of an air conditioner and a wall surface, and by changing the back adjustment method, quality stability and installation work can be improved. The aim is to make it easier.

Generally, the structure of the air conditioner body is as shown in Figure 3.
As shown in FIG. 4, an air guider 3 made of polystyrene foam is incorporated inside a substrate 2 on the back side of the main body 1, and a heat exchanger, a water tray, etc. (none of which are shown) are incorporated inside the air guider 3. It is.

To do this, install a mounting plate (not shown) on the wall in advance, and hook the hook part 4 on the back of the air conditioner main body 1 onto the top of the mounting board to attach the main body 1 to the wall 6. Ta. In order to ensure levelness so that drain water can be properly drained, an adjustment device is attached to the lower back of the main body 1 to adjust the gap between the hooked upper part and the wall.

As shown in Fig. 4, the adjustment device is to attach rear adjustment screws 6 to two locations on the back of the board 2, and turn the 6 screws (i) to move the screw head position forward or backward. let me,
The gap between the back of main body 1 and the wall was being adjusted.

However, with this structure, the length of the main body 1 is equal to the length of the screw 6.
Therefore, a space 6a corresponding to the length of the screw 6 had to be provided in the air guider 3 on the western side of the main body 1. This is because, considering the minimum wall thickness during molding of the air guider 3, a protrusion 6 is required on the inner surface of the air guider 3 as shown in FIG. Therefore, this protrusion 6 acts as a resistance to the wind flowing on the inner surface of the air guider 3, and has an adverse effect on the air flow direction. Furthermore, when adjusting the rear surface during installation, it is necessary to turn the adjustment screw 6 several times to extend it to the maximum, which is time-consuming. .

Also, during assembly, it took a lot of man-hours because the screws 6 had to be screwed in.

The present invention provides a back adjustment device that eliminates the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings showing one embodiment thereof. Here, the same numbers as those in the prior art are given the same numbers, and the description thereof will be omitted.

In the same figure, reference numeral 11 is a rear adjuster;
1a, a body portion 11b having a narrow width, and this body portion 11b.
jltLl:, jL, etc. are integrally molded from resin. Reference numeral 12 denotes an adjustment groove formed in the rear substrate 2, and has an inclined surface so as to gradually protrude from the rear surface of the substrate 2. The back surface adjuster 11 is connected to the body portion 1.
1b is inserted into this adjustment groove 12 so as to be able to slide with appropriate friction, and is prevented from coming out by a retaining portion 11a. A notch 13 is provided on the outside of the air blower and lidar 3 to secure a space for the inside of the main body 1 of the back adjuster 11.

In the above configuration, regarding adjustment of the back adjuster 11,
This is done by sliding the operation knob 11a sideways. Here, the force used for moving the air conditioner is not shifted due to vibrations inside the air conditioner, and the friction force is set to such an extent that the operation can be performed easily. and adjustment height L
As shown in FIG. 2, the right position when viewed from the back of the main body is the lowest, and by moving to the left, the gap i between the back of the main body 1 and the wall can be increased. The minimum and maximum adjustment range is approximately 711 possible.

As shown in the above example, the back adjustment device for an air conditioner according to the present invention adjusts the gap between the main body and the wall by sliding the adjustment tool provided on the back of the board in the adjustment groove, so it is different from the conventional method. Compared to a structure that uses screws, it does not require extra space inside the main body, and since the inner surface of the air guider is flat, there is no need to provide protrusions on the inner surface of the air guider, which eliminates the negative effect on air volume. Further, since the adjustment operation is a sliding type, it can be done in one operation, and the adjustment operation is not time-consuming as in the conventional case, but has the effect of simplifying the work during installation.
